Quote from nitro:
I am a bit disapointed with myself. When I saw the double top towards the end of the day yesterday, I knew I had seen what I wanted in order to get short. Realizing that my stop would then be this double top, or ~993, and knowing that my risk tolerance for these trades is 3 to 4 handles, I should have entered just below 990, say 989.50.
I was too slow with all the thinking and the market just got hammered, and my entry was hurried.
People say it is the exit that matters and not the entry. I say baloney.
